Lisbon's point of view

I didn't think much of the screams I thought Jane was playing a sick cruel joke on her. It wasn't until I saw Rigsby and Cho trying to restrain her, that's when I knew something was wrong. She was screaming something none of us could understand. She had such a pained look on her face almost like the one Jane has. I tried to move but I couldn't it was like I was frozen. I flashed back to when I fist met the agent.


Flashback

"Agent Lisbon you have failed to add a new member to you team, since you can't make the decision I will make it for you." Minelli said with a hint of anger

"Sir my team is perfect the way it is and I don't have the time to train another agent" I said with a convincing tone or so I thought

"Lisbon you need another member and I think I found a great agent. She's from a small framing town in Iowa and I think she's perfect. She is pretty and she is a bubbly person but a great cop. Her name is Grace Marie VanPelt and she will be a great addition to the Serious Crimes Unit. She will be in at noon and its 11:50 so you have five minutes to get yourself together and to greet her."

"Yes boss." I knew better than to argue with him, so I left his office.

Ten minutes on the dot a tall red haired woman walked in. She must be Grace but she might not be she looked no older than 24 years old. Compared to everyone except Rigsby who is turning 26 this year, she is just a baby. She was quite beautiful and she looked like a bubbly person. Great she will get annoying later. She then approaches me

"Excuse me ma'am so you know where I can find Senior Agent Lisbon?"

"That will be me, you must be Grace VanPelt" I said in a friendly tone

"Yes ma'am and thank you so much for meeting with me"

"Sure, well why don't we go into my office to talk"

We approach my office and I can tell that she was nervous. Once we sat down in my office I decided to put her out of her misery and tell her she got the job.

"Well you have a short but good resume. It looks like you have only worked at one place."

"Yes, I worked at the Iowa Police Department straight out of the academy."

"I am going to be straight with you Grace you don't have the most experience but you will get that here. You look like a great cop from the recommendations, and you graduated the academy at the top of your class. My superiors like you so you have the job when do you want to start" I saw the younger woman's eyes light up

"Anytime" she said in a happy and grateful tone

A few weeks went by and the new agent was picture perfect. She followed rules and was actually a nice person. We would go out for drinks after work and we even started to do yoga with each other. It wasn't until I asked her why she wanted to be a cop that she started to slowly shut me out.

End of flashback


I then snapped back to reality. She was screaming and trying to free herself from the tight grips of Rigsby and Cho. When you looked at her you could tell she was a football coach's daughter and that she was just as strong and athletic and the guys were, but there was also a pained look in her eyes that told me she didn't want to be here. Maybe Jane was right when he said something in her past messed her up for life. When I first met her and read that she was a small town girl I thought she wouldn't fit in here because everyone in this unit had a story to tell. I think I was wrong. She has a story and terrible past I just don't know what and maybe today is the day I find out.

At this point I know I must do something before she hurts herself. So I did what I know best I went out yelling for her to calm down. When the rookie started to struggle more I cuffed her to her desk chair
